ITEM 8.01  OTHER EVENTS.

Termination of Adam Leaf and Bean

During the second quarter of fiscal 2002, the Company purchased the
assets of a tobacco and coffee shop located in Baltimore County, Maryland.
The new business traded as "Adam Leaf and Bean" under the corporation
Broken Windows, Inc.  Adam Leaf and Bean opened for business during the
third quarter of fiscal 2002.  Dispite some success in attracting the
target market, Adam Leaf and Bean has been unable to generate significant
or steadily increasing revenues since it's opening.  Without increasing
revenues, management has determined that Adam Leaf and Bean is no longer
viable. As a result, we have decided to close Adam Leaf and Bean effective
immediately.

Certain Cautionary Information

In connection with the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995
(the "Litigation Reform Act"), we are hereby disclosing certain cautionary
information to be used in connection with written materials (including
this Report on Form 8-K) and oral statements made by or on behalf of our
employees and representatives that may contain forward-looking statements
within the meaning of the Litigation Reform Act.  Such statements consist
of any statement other than a recitation of historical fact and can be
identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as may, expect,
will, anticipate, estimate or continue or the negative thereof or other
variations thereon or comparable terminology.  You are cautioned that all
forward-looking statements are necessarily speculative and there are
numberous risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results
to differ materially from those referred to in such forward-looking
statements.  The discussion contained in our Annual Report on Form 10KSB
for the fiscal year ended April 30, 2004 and incorporated herein by
reference highlights some of the more important risks we have identified,
but should not be assumed to be the only factors that could affect future
performance.  Included in these risks are our new business lines, history
or losses, our fluctuations in operating results, competition and other
risks set forth herein and in our annual report on Form 10KSB for the
fiscal year ended April 30, 2004 and in other reports we have filed.
You are cautioned that we do not have a policy of updating or revising
forward-looking statements and thus you should not assume that our silence
over time means that actual events are bearing out as estimated in such
forward-looking statements.
